Digital Hand Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: Essential Techniques Plus Step-by-Step Tutorials for Scanning, Editing, and Creating on a Tablet

This book is a game-changer for me! I've been looking to use more hand lettering in my personal crafting projects, but couldn't quite get the hang of all the Procreate details. This book is an easy to understand, step-by-step guide that's easy to follow.Friendly writing and simple guidelines have made this a new favourite!

Very useful and great book. Unfortunately my book did come a bit bent but that was likely the shippers fault.

Beautiful book! Met Shelly at a class in Dallas and bought this book the next day. She has a great way of explaining each technique in a way that doesn't confuse a beginner, but also doesn't bore someone with experience in calligraphy. Her positivity and loving approach to the art and to teaching comes through just as strong in this book as her classes. Shelly is an inspirational person and her approach to calligraphy is easy to understand, beautiful, and helps create a wonderful end result.The drill and practice pages within the book can be easily copied and printed out for continued practice (and do overs and the first time or two or three needs extra love!). The beginning of the book has recommendations on tools, including thin and thick pens/markers and different kinds of paper for practice and projects. There are also motivational tips and quotes scattered throughout the book from Shelly to keep you going.Currently working through the several projects detailed out in the book. They're focused on the digital aspect, but can still be completed if you don't have an iPad and prefer to use paint and ink.Looking forward to finishing this book and to future projects. Five stars.

It is about time these amazing artists shared some of their Procreate lettering tips and tricks in book form. I love video tutorials, but I love being able to have a tangible product next to my iPad to flip through and refer to. I am so happy to have discovered Shelly Kim's book (and work) two days before release. My only regret is not following her sooner as this book highlights easy-to-follow tips and tricks with her beautiful work. Well done!

I Recently received this awesome hand lettering book by Shelly and I love it!There are two main parts to the book, a hand lettering calligraphy part that goes deep into the tips and techniques that Shelly always recommends to beginners, and a digitizing and iPad lettering part. Both parts are well organized and easy to follow and offer a way for a beginner to enter into hand lettering.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to get started with hand lettered calligraphy and digital iPad lettering.
